| Application method | Hold the syringe with the capped end pointing to the left so that the weight measurements and the tick marks (small black lines) can be seen. Turn the dial ring until the left side of the ring lines up with the weight of the animal. In the diagram below, the dial ring is set to dose a 400 kg animal. Remove the barrel cap and save it for later use if required. Ensure the animal's mouth is empty, with your thumb on the plunger, insert the nozzle of the syringe into the horse's mouth at the space between the front and rear teeth, and make sure the tip of the syringe is over the back of the tongue. Deliver the dose of gel onto the back of the tongue by gently pushing the plunger until it stops. Raise the horse's head once dosing is completed to ensure the gel is swallowed. |
